Spend Valentine’s Day singing your heart out with up to 400 people in a one-day community choir workshop, led by choir director Kim Samuels.
You’ll learn a selection of big, joyful love songs by the likes of Adele, Bob Marley, Bill Withers and Chaka Khan, all taught by ear. No previous choir experience is needed – just bring your voice and be ready to sing.
Then, that evening, take to the Beacon Hall stage with hundreds of fellow singers, a professional band and soulful soloists for the Massive Love Songs concert.
Workshop tickets include hot and cold refreshments throughout the day. Vocal guide tracks will be sent in advance so you can practise at home if you wish.
